A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell, such as a sperm or egg, that carries half the genetic material of an organism and fuses with another gamete during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, initiating the development of a new organism

Gametes are the physical carriers of genetic information from one generation to the next They carry recombinant chromosomes produced at the end of meiosis Often, species that reproduce sexually have two morphologically distinct types of individuals that produce different gametes
- GAMETE Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The meaning of GAMETE is a mature male or female germ cell usually possessing a haploid chromosome set and capable of initiating formation of a new diploid individual by fusion with a gamete of the opposite sex
- Gamete Definition, Formation, and Types - ThoughtCo
Gametes are sex cells that combine during reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote Gametes form through meiosis, creating cells with one set of chromosomes, called haploid cells Oogamy is a type of reproduction where the female gamete is large and non-motile, like in humans
- Gamete - National Human Genome Research Institute
A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant In animals, female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with each cell carrying only one copy of each chromosome During fertilization, a sperm and ovum unite to form a new diploid organism
